Exact comparisons are impossible because of the varying definitions of what constitutes the "city" population, as opposed to the urban or metropolitan region as a whole. Official census data is taken at different intervals as well.

The most populous city in the world by central municipal area is Shanghai, China with 13 million residents and about 22 million in the metropolitan area. (Tokyo, Japan, has a dual municipal structure with 23 autonomous wards within the city.)

Tokyo, Japan, has the largest metropolitan population with over 37 million people, followed by Jakarta, Indonesiahaving 22 million, approximately the same as Seoul, South Korea and Mumbai, India.

The highest population density is in Cairo, Egypt, with a density even higher than the major cities of India, at more than 31,000 people per square kilometer.

The top 10 cities from one source :

  1. Tokyo (37 million)
  2. Jakarta (22 million)
  3. Mumbai (20 million)
  4. Delhi (20 million)
  5. Manila (20 million)
  6. New York (20 million)
  7. Sao Paulo (20 million)
  8. Seoul-Incheon (19 million)
  9. Mexico City (18 million)
  10. Shanghai (18 million)

A separate list (at the related link) indicates these estimated figures :

1. Tokyo, Japan - 32,450,000

2. Seóul, South Korea - 20,550,000

3. Mexico City, Mexico - 20,450,000

4. New York City, USA - 19,750,000

5. Mumbai, India - 19,200,000

6. Jakarta, Indonesia - 18,900,000

7. Sáo Paulo, Brazil - 18,850,000

8. Delhi, India - 18,680,000

9. Õsaka/Kobe, Japan - 17,350,000

10. Shanghai, China - 16,650,000

New York City is the most populous city in New York, and the entire United States. Its population is 8,391,881 (eight million, three hundred and ninety-one thousand, eight hundred and eighty-one) as of the 2009 census estimates.

The 2010 census estimate for New York City is 8,175,133(eight million, one hundred and seventy-five thousand, one hundred and thirty-three). However, city officials (and residents) are claiming that there has been an undercount, and that New York City's population is actually around 8.4 million. It seems extremely unlikely that New York City has seen a decrease in population. So the 2009 census estimate is perhaps still the best one to quote.
